I've used Xoom as well. Usually the money is available within a few minutes of the transfer. Can be picked up at many different locations and they charge a flat fee of I think 4.99 for up to $2000USD.

nice I'll try xoom next time. All my credit cards have my zip different so I think putting the wrong zip in is causing me problems :(

Hello :)

If it's not so much to ask could you use our referral code when you sign up for xoom?

http://refer.xoom.com/a/clk/2gb2QN

After your first transaction we will both receive a 15$ gift card from xoom.

Thank you so much

Also,

Promo code for March is:

MARCHON

My fiance sends me money through paypal. He wired his bank to paypal. I just then transfer paypal to my unionbank account. I opened my unionbank account for this sole purpose and it was very easy and cheap. The unionbank EON card serves as a debit/atm card so I find it very safe and convenient to carry with me here in the Philippines since majority of the places either have an ATM or accepts Visa :) Another thing I find good with this way is that even if I have transferred every penny to my account but I decide to buy things online through paypal, I can still access the money. I haven't had any problems with it also.

Down side of this is that my fiance usually waits 3 days from his bank to paypal and then from paypal to the EON card it's another 3 days. If you don't like the wait then yeah it's a problem but it has taught me to budget well in case of emergencies and wait :))

I'm all good with it and so is my fiancee since he is so worried with me being mugged because I carry cash. :P Better to carry plastic he says :P It depends though if you prefer it that way. :)
